After the Second World War, the Germans had sworn off any involvement in war. The world agreed, for we were the evil Nazis.

In 1999, however, active participation in military operations was resumed – the conservative chancellor Helmut Kohl had been voted out of office a year earlier – with the bombing of Serbia at the behest of the USA.

This was followed by 20 years in Afghanistan, where we finally fled the country with the Americans and their military, which proved to be completely helpless. To this day, no German government can explain what the purpose of this mission with German participation was.

In 2015, we supported the bombing Americans in Syria with aerial reconnaissance. As always, Ramstein in Germany is used as a US military base and hub for global drone attacks. This is one of the reasons why Russian nuclear missiles are aimed at our country. Nobody in Germany talks about this – but in the USA they do.

Now we are firmly locked into and integrated into a US proxy war in Ukraine. Tanks with the Iron Cross on their turrets are once again rolling against Russia, where the German invasion in 1941 and following years cost 26 million Russians their lives. There is always talk of 6 million Jews that we have killed. We support Israel with carte blanche, no matter what that country does. That doesn’t apply to Russia – because of the Americans’ claims to power.

What is striking is that every time the Americans have come to the end of their tether with their bombing and their Latin, waves of refugees have set in, of which Germany has always been the largest host country at horrendous cost – now it is no different with Ukraine. On top of this, however, Germany is being admonished by the Americans to spend more on joint defense within NATO. And Germany is complying here, too.

Someone like Trump is simply too stupid to recognize the correlations. However, if an overall account were to be drawn up, then it would be clear who would have to pay whom.

As a consequence, money is lacking elsewhere in Germany. And then we give the Americans another ten billion euros in bribes for the Intel settlement in Magdeburg and buy the dirty fracking gas from them at inflated prices, for which nearly the entire German economy and the average German consumer have to bleed.

No one can be that completely crazy like the German government. It’s simply not possible.
